"Be simple, the way of speaking is simple." Recently, I especially like this line of lyrics. The older I get, the less I like going around in circles. I always want to go straight to people's hearts. This trip to Tengchong is just to soak in a hot spring.
Because I am a person who is not good at planning routes, I simply applied for a wish traveler's [Happy Soaring Six Days and Five Nights]
As for why you report to this group:
One is because it is cheap
Second, it's because it's cheap haha
It’s good to go with a group. The travel steward will tell you all the precautions and things you need to prepare. After making an appointment with the travel steward, start buying tickets. Note: the earlier you buy, the better, and the longer the time in advance, the cheaper it will be.
Depart on Day 1
The plane from Beijing to Kunming at 8.15 in the morning, arrived at Kunming Changshui Airport at 12.00
When I got off the plane, I saw the pick-up staff of the tour group. It was really a flower pick-up. I felt a little flattered haha.
Stay at [Borman Hotel] because the hotel is near the airport because it will fly to Tengchong the next day
There is no arrangement on the first day, because we have to wait for group members from all over the world. The tour guide saw that we came so early and recommended us to go to Guandu Ancient Town.
I didn’t eat anything on the plane just now, and it’s time for lunch again. Of course, I hurried to eat, and I went out immediately after putting down my luggage.
When I arrived, I immediately went to find something to eat and ate some special dishes.
Yunnan Bridge Rice Noodles
After filling my stomach, I went for a stroll in Guandu Ancient Town. Opposite is the Yunnan Museum, full of cultural atmosphere everywhere.
I went shopping until six or seven o’clock before returning to the hotel with a tired body. Because I was eating snacks along the way, I simply didn’t eat dinner. I went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow’s itinerary.
Day2 Longchuan Rafting + Atami Park + Yunfeng Mountain Hot Spring Bath
Get up early in the morning and go to Tengchong, first go to Longchuan for rafting
It's also very comfortable to bask in the sun.
Next is Atami Park, one of the most anticipated attractions of this trip, you can also soak in hot springs at night, it is comfortable to think about it
Arrive in Tengchong County, go straight to Rehai Park, and when you reach the bottom of the valley, a hot air with the smell of sulfur blows over your face
steaming everywhere
Pearl Spring, geothermal heat gushes out to form pearl-like bubbles
Climb up from the bottom of the valley to the famous Atami Boiling Pot
The eggs of the Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan are sold on skewers, and the eggs strung up with straw ropes are steamed with geothermal heat
Stayed at Yunfengshan Hot Spring Hotel at night
The tour group also gave a [Beauty Pool Hot Spring], a pure natural geothermal hot spring. It was a lot easier to soak in the hot spring, and it washed away the fatigue of the day. (Bring your own swimsuit, the swimsuits sold here are very expensive)
If you are hungry, there is a buffet
Day3 Ruili Heshun Ancient Town + National War Cemetery + Shoutsha Dai Village
Another day of getting up early, the first thing I went to was Heshun Ancient Town
Under the big tree outside the town, there is a rice field outside. It is said that rape flowers bloom in spring
Stone archway at the entrance of the village
Walking along the small river and the lotus pond, every other section there will be a simple and elegant pavilion standing by the water, where the village women wash their clothes. This is a unique laundry booth in the country, and there are six in Heshun.
In the afternoon, we came to the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall in West Yunnan and the Martyrs Cemetery
This is the soul habitat of the Jiugan martyrs of the Chinese Expeditionary Army who died heroically for the recovery of Tengchong during the "World War II". Because of its rich historical background and strong patriotic spirit, it has become a world-famous cultural landscape.
It is no exaggeration to say that Huaisha Dai Village is the largest and most beautiful Dai village in Ruili. The subtropical natural scenery, unique Dai-style architecture, bright and colorful traditional costumes, and strong Dai folk customs are all concentrated in every household in Dadenghou Village.
Overnight at Kaiguan Hotel
Day4 Mangshi + Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda
Just like I thought, I have to get up early every day, get up at six o'clock, get a breakfast bag in the car, and set off for Mangshi.
In the morning, I went to the border trade experience area to learn about jadeite culture. If you like it, you can choose and buy it yourself.
I still have some knowledge about jadeite and other things, and the craftsmanship and price here are reasonable, but I didn't buy it because there was no style I liked.
In the afternoon is the expected Shwedagon Pagoda
This is a typical South Asian Dai Palace architectural style temple. When I first saw it, it was beyond my expectation. The main building is exquisite and the scale is magnificent and amazing.
Seeing these being overwhelmed by this majestic building, I feel how small human beings are.
Then I looked up, wow, what a magnificent gate!
Naturally, a sense of reverence arose in my heart for this god hidden in the deep mountains.
Overnight stay at Golden Plex Hotel
Day5 Tengchong Specialty Market + Chuxiong
I am a foodie. I bought local shredded bait at the specialty market. This shredded bait is a bit similar to rice noodles, but it will not rot after a long time of cooking, and it is very strong.
There are really flower cakes sold everywhere in Yunnan. I couldn’t help seeing the freshly baked flower cakes. I bought some and ate them in the car.
It's a long return journey in the afternoon~
When we arrived in Chuxiong, the first thing we did was to find something to eat. We went to eat the local wild mushroom hot pot (it doesn’t look like much, but the taste is very delicious~)
Day6 Return
Finally, there is also a drop-off service. Chuxiong will go to Changshui Airport.
The whole itinerary was still very good, and I finally soaked in the hot spring that I was thinking about. If you don't like to rush the itinerary, it is better not to join the group. Free travel will be more relaxed.
There are two shopping spots in the whole itinerary, one is on the morning of the fourth day, and the other is on the morning of the fifth day. After all, this is considered a quality tour, and there is no mandatory consumption. The whole shopping process is very comfortable, just like shopping in a mall.
It was a very comfortable trip with a group, and I will choose Wish Traveler next time~
